<br />You have to use a cleaner/ lubricant. If you just use a cleaner, your pot will seize up and need to be replaced.

Yeah, it seems like people divide up in two. Half of them sit in your boat while the other half sits in Simons.
I read on another forum some guy said that lubricant will attract dust and stuff which will lead to that the pot will soon start to crackle all over again.

<br />WD40 works serious MAGIC on pots, but is this stuff ok to use? will it cause future issues?

Definitely do NOT use WD40.

Thanks, but I'm not going to order a spray can from the other side of the globe. That's a little bit the reason why I wrote:

+1 That is an oil based compound that contains silicone grease. It'll gunk the pots up no end. First thing i was told by an EE friend of mine.

Just go to your local hardware store and get "contact cleaner". I don't know if it's oil based or not, I searched and searched the can, but there's nothing on there. All I know is that when I spray my contact cleaner, whatever I sprayed appears wet for like 5 seconds, then makes whatever I sprayed feel bone dry. There is no oily residue left behind.
